Chapter 27

Such a carefree and relaxed life continued until Liang Shan found him, and it came to a complete end.

When Ye Chu saw Liang Shan, his nose and face were bruised, and his arm was wrapped in bandages, clearly indicating that it was broken. Seeing the battered Liang Shan standing at the door of the mansion, Ye Chu was puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "What happened to you? Who beat you up? And how did you find me here?"

Ye Chu remembered that he hadn't told Liang Shan where he was staying!

"Ye Chu! I finally found you, you have to leave quickly!" Liang Shan, upon seeing Ye Chu, couldn't help but collapse onto him, tears and snot streaming out, looking pitiful.

Ye Chu quickly dodged to avoid getting snot on him and asked, "What's going on?"

"Fang Xinyuan and his group are looking for you, threatening to make you pay! But since they couldn't find you, they took it out on me! They beat me up so badly, and even broke my arm!" Liang Shan started crying. Over the past few days, he had been beaten by them at least ten times. If it weren't for running into Pang Shao and learning that Ye Chu was here, such a life would have continued indefinitely!

Ye Chu frowned and asked Liang Shan what had happened. Liang Shan, with a sobbing voice, explained the situation to Ye Chu, who finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that after Ye Chu slapped Fang Xinyuan and his group at the Qingyang Marquis's banquet, they harbored resentment and wanted to take revenge on Ye Chu. But since Ye Chu had been staying with Bai Xuan, they couldn't find him. Their anger was then vented on Liang Shan, who was beaten and kicked. They also demanded to know where Ye Chu was, threatening to beat Liang Shan to death if he didn't reveal Ye Chu's location!

How could Liang Shan know where Ye Chu had gone? He couldn't give them any information! As a result, his arm was broken, and it would take at least three to four months to recover!

Listening to Liang Shan's broken narration, Ye Chu let out a light sigh, a surge of anger rising in his heart. If these guys wanted to cause him trouble, he would face it head-on! But the thought of Liang Shan suffering such injuries because of him was unbearable!

"They said they would beat you to death if I didn't show up?" Ye Chu asked Liang Shan.

"Yes! That's what they said, but don't take it seriously! After all, I am the heir of a marquis's estate, they wouldn't dare kill me! However, from the way they looked, they are determined to get you! You should leave Yaocheng quickly!" Liang Shan warned Ye Chu.

"What about you if I leave?" Ye Chu looked at Liang Shan, thinking that although they were just drinking buddies, this guy was very loyal.

"It's fine! At worst, they'll beat me up a few more times, but I won't die!" Liang Shan said, wincing as he spoke, the pain from his injuries evident.

Seeing that there wasn't a single spot on Liang Shan's body that was unharmed, Ye Chu took a deep breath and said to Liang Shan, "Where are Fang Xinyuan and his group?"

"They are at the Dingwu Hall!" Liang Shan said, "This isn't the time to worry about that. You should leave quickly. Fang Xinyuan has gathered a group of people, including the head of the family guards, and they are determined to get you."

Ye Chu smiled and looked at Liang Shan. He patted Liang Shan's shoulder and said, "Follow me!"

"Huh? Where are we going?" Liang Shan was puzzled.

"To see the Dingwu Hall!" Liang Shan was concerned about his safety, and since he had been injured for Ye Chu's sake, Ye Chu couldn't just stand by and do nothing!

Besides, Ye Chu was always protective of his friends, and seeing Liang Shan beaten up like this had already ignited his anger.

"Ah!" Liang Shan was startled by Ye Chu's words, "Are you crazy? You're just going to walk into their trap! And you don't even know what the Dingwu Hall is!"

"It doesn't matter where it is! I'll just smash it!" Ye Chu said calmly, walking forward.

"..."

"Ye Chu... Ye Chu..." Liang Shan was scared and tried to hold Ye Chu back, but Ye Chu's steps were too quick, and he couldn't stop him. He could only follow quickly, stomping his feet in frustration.

...

The Dingwu Hall! Built beside the Han Lake in Yaocheng, it was surrounded by beautiful mountains and water, and since it gathered a large number of young cultivators from Yaocheng, it was very famous!

At this moment, two people stood in front of the Dingwu Hall, one with a calm expression, the other with a worried one.

"Ye Chu! Don't do anything foolish! The Dingwu Hall gathers most of the young cultivators in Yaocheng, and its hall master is Ding Kaiwei! You shouldn't forget who Ding Kaiwei is. Three years ago, you didn't dare provoke him even when you were still in the Ye family. He has grown even more terrifying over the years and is one of the top three young figures in Yaocheng! The king has even bestowed him the title of 'Brave Warrior,' and he hates you to the core. If you go there, he will definitely break your legs!" Liang Shan warned anxiously.

Ye Chu smiled at Liang Shan but said nothing, continuing to walk forward.

"Damn it!" Liang Shan regretted it, not expecting Ye Chu to be so impulsive. If he had known, he wouldn't have told Ye Chu about his injuries. "The Dingwu Hall has connections to the royal family, and it's rumored that even a prince is involved. Ye Chu, don't do anything rash!"

Ye Chu ignored Liang Shan's words and walked up the steps of the Dingwu Hall.

Just then, two people walked out of the Dingwu Hall. They were none other than Zhang Su'er and Su Rong. They were slightly surprised to see Ye Chu and then noticed Liang Shan behind him, seemingly understanding the situation.

"Ye Chu! Don't be impulsive! Leave Yaocheng!" Zhang Su'er warned Ye Chu.

"Move!" Ye Chu looked at the two women blocking his path and said calmly.

"If you want to stand up for Liang Shan, find another place. The Dingwu Hall is where most of the young cultivators in Yaocheng gather. Going there is like walking into a death trap," Zhang Su'er said, clearly displeased. This guy was really risking his life!

Ye Chu stared at Zhang Su'er, his face calm, but his words were firm, "If the Dingwu Hall dares to meddle in my affairs, I'll smash it!"

His words left Su Rong and Zhang Su'er stunned. They couldn't believe how audacious Ye Chu was!

Ye Chu walked past them and approached the entrance of the Dingwu Hall. Two guards at the door blocked his path, "Please show your gold card to enter!"

"Get out of my way!" Ye Chu said, staring at them.

The two guards were taken aback. They had never been spoken to like this before. After a brief moment of shock, they reacted with anger, "Where did you come from, you arrogant brat? The Dingwu Hall isn't a place for you to cause trouble. If you know what's good for you, leave now!"

Ye Chu didn't say another word. He slapped one of them, the sound of the slap echoing through the space. The slap left everyone stunned.

Liang Shan's face turned pale, and he almost collapsed, his mind filled with one thought: "It's over!"

Su Rong and Zhang Su'er also opened their mouths in disbelief, their eyes wide as they watched Ye Chu slap the other guard.

The sound of Ye Chu's slaps also drew the attention of passersby, who were equally stunned. They looked at Ye Chu as if he were a ghost, "Someone is causing trouble at the Dingwu Hall? Who is this guy? Is he tired of living?"

They found it hard to believe, as the Dingwu Hall was one of the places in Yaocheng that no one dared to provoke.

"Ye Chu! Run quickly!" Su Rong couldn't help but shout, unwilling to see Ye Chu get beaten to death.

But the result was unexpected. After slapping the two guards, Ye Chu walked into the Dingwu Hall, leaving the three of them to exchange worried glances and follow him quickly.
